Yielding ground isn’t a sign of weakness if it winds up buying you time. Toss an adversary a bone and you’ll throw him off the scent.
Going through the usual channels won’t cut it, so go ahead and meet with that behind-the-scenes player. This person can wield influence where you can’t.
You’ve avoided a touchy subject for as long as you could and now it’s time to face the music. Your willingness to listen turns critics into fans.
People are the most precious resource in your life now which is why you don’t want to alienate anyone – even if it’s justified. Turn the other cheek.
A trivial matter could turn into a travail if it isn’t handled properly. Give it the healthy respect that it deserves.
Every time you try to bring matters to a close, the other side shows renewed interest. Don’t worry. This time their interest is legit.
